First #fridayflash of 2010! Hopefully first of 52!

I don't remember where the germ of this one came from, but it'd been rolling around in my head for a few weeks.



I'm afraid this is another rerun. Err, Director's Cut. I had a fresh friday flash on the go, but I had a bit of a rabbit emergency yesterday (she's fine now, but had to spend the day in the hospital) so between the fretting and attending to her in the evening, I didn't get a chance to finish.

So! Once again you guys are getting a story I posted waaaaaay back in September of 2008. But it was already flash-sized and most of you won't have read it before.

Enjoy!



Here's an example of a story that wouldn't exist without the #fridayflash gang. There've been a few really good stories with Death as a character in recent weeks, which got me thinking, "Hmm...how would *I* write Death?"

Here's the result. I'm not happy with it. I couldn't quite get it to work the way I wanted it to. I almost didn't post it, thinking it would be improve by me mulling it over more, but that didn't seem like the #fridayflash spirit.



I am thinking that I need to start writing some more serious stories. Or at least less silly/ridiculous ones. I don't want to get branded as the class clown for Friday Flash :P Having said that, I think I know what I'm writing next week and silly is on the docket once again.

I also need to start writing earlier so I have time for edits and rewrites. I'm always giving you guys rough drafts that I barely remember to spellcheck...



I really struggled with the ending for this one. But, here we are.

It's good to be back at Friday Flash after a few weeks off for nanowrimo :)

Updated, due to popular demand, with a note at the end with the punchline for the vampire joke!



I'm deep in the throes of NaNoWriMo at the moment and of course has been the focus of my writing lately. So, I've decided to post a re-run. Wait! Let's not call it a re-run, let's call it a "Director's Cut". I posted this one when I was working Fabulous F**king Fiction. It was originally posted back in September of 2008 ("B-List Material"). I don't feel toooo bad though, most of you Friday Flashers won't have seen it yet.

Uhh, I edited it and tried to trim it down, but it's still 1008 words, so a bit long by #fridayflash standards.
